1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: Well, fentanyl. Fentanyl, of course, has become a real danger 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:10,639 Speaker 1: in this country. Fentanyl is a very very dangerous, dangerous drug. 3 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: A lot of it comes imported. It is fifty times 4 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,440 Speaker 1: more powerful than heroin and fifty to one hundred times 5 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: more potent than morphine. About two milligrams is a potentially 6 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: fatal dose for most people, and it is to give 7 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: a perspective, a teaspoon a fentanyl contains about five thousand milligrams. 8 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,959 Speaker 1: So there have been a rising number of deaths related 9 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,279 Speaker 1: to fentanyl drug poisoning. Two milligrams is like ten to 10 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:46,639 Speaker 1: fifteen grains of salt. That's how the small amount, that's 11 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: how little it takes to kill you. In twenty twenty one, 12 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 1: a record number of Americans, over one hundred and seven 13 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: thousand died from a drug poisoning or overdose, and sixty 14 00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: percent of those deaths can be attributed to synthetic opioids 15 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: such as fentyl. Now we're going to talk about what's 16 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: happening out in Riverside County, which was profiled in a 17 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: recent story about what the DA there and the sheriff 18 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: are doing to try to step up prosecuting people who 19 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,639 Speaker 1: have been involved in fetnyl dealing. Let's get the sheriff, 20 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: Chad Bianco. Yeah, sheriff, how are you welcome again? I'm 21 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: doing good. Thanks guys, thanks for having me on. So 22 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: you've arrested twenty two people in connection with fentanyl deaths 23 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: since you started this war against the fentnel business in Riverside. 24 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: That's just since the beginning with twenty twenty one. Huh, yes, 25 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: it's we're about eighteen months, so it was a little 26 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: bit after twenty twenty one mid year somewhere around there 27 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: is when we started. And yes, twenty two people have 28 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: been arrested for murder in their part play, in their 29 00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: part in supplying fentanyl to someone that died. Now, it's 30 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: supposed to be tricky to charge somebody who supplies a 31 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: drug with murder. I know they were trying to get 32 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: a stronger law passed in Sacramento, but the idiot Democrats 33 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: refuse to do it. Are these prosecutions difficult to pull off? 34 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: They are? They're extremely difficult. The laws are certainly not 35 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: set up to assist us in any way in providing 36 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 1: victims assistance and family their families justice. They're definitely set 37 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: up for the suspects, and you're exactly right. We could 38 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: not get anything passed through our legislature that adds any 39 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: type of a crime to or a punishment for a 40 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: crime to anyone. That's just their agenda, and it's it's heartening. 41 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: They're disheartening. I'm sorry, it's but these investigations they're extremely difficult, 42 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: they're extremely lengthy, and it's it takes a lot a 43 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: lot of instigative detail to get the evidence needed for 44 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: our prosecutors to be able to handle these cases and 45 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: get them through court. What kind of evidence do you 46 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: have to collect to get the district attorney to file 47 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: a case for murder? There's I honestly, I don't want 48 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: to tell you everything that we have to get because 49 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: I don't want we're certainly making an impact here where 50 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: where the people selling drugs know that if they sell 51 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: drugs in Riverside County and someone dies from it, that 52 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: we are going to arrest them for murder and charge 53 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: them and try them. I will tell you that it 54 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: is very, very detailed and tactical investigation in the things 55 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: that we need to prove that they are the ones 56 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: that supplied those drugs that killed the individual that took them. Yeah, 57 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: I see in this story that you said your counting 58 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: average is eighty to one hundred homicides a year and 59 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: you have twenty investigators. Mom, when it comes to FENTNYL, 60 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: you got four investigators in the sergeant for four and 61 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: eighty two active metal related deaths county wide. That sounds 62 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: like an overwhelming job. It is overwhelming. And I have 63 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: to tell you that those four hundred and eighty that 64 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: they are actively pursuing, those are the cases that we 65 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: have determined do have the potential of reaching the point 66 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: where we can arrest someone for murder. That's not all 67 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: of the deaths we have. That's not all of the 68 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: people that are dying. It's just the ones that we 69 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: have gone through that it looks on its face that 70 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: we do have enough and there is that potential to 71 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: gather that important information that shows that that person is 72 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: the one that supplied that that drug. And they's there's 73 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: a lot of search warrants involved, there's a lot of 74 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: interviewing involved. It's a it's a very detailed, tedious investigation 75 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: that quite honestly that those numbers just what you said. 76 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: The five guys that one supervisor, four guys working nearly 77 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: one hundred cases each. It's it's overwhelming. Okay, So what's 78 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: what's the long term what's the long term I don't know. 79 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: Program that we need here, a strategy, I mean, obviously 80 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: the cooperation of the state government, because there's no way 81 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: you're going to be able to round up all these 82 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: uh fentil pushers that are killing people. You're never going 83 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: to have the personnel that's right. And so with what 84 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: we have, we know that we know we can't go 85 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: ask for more money to hire a hundred more investigators. 86 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: So we're having to multipurpose our deputies and our and 87 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: our station investigators to assist with these investigations, to handle interviews, 88 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: to handle with the evidence gathering, to handle handle the 89 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: forensic uh you know, processes of electronic data and things 90 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: like that. But in the end, it's going to take 91 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: the state actually wanting to do something to stop the 92 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: fentiel desks in this state. Our legislators are are really 93 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,679 Speaker 1: doing a serious disservice to this state, and it's there's 94 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: they should be being held accountable. It's amazing how little 95 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: they care. They have to adjust to this because this 96 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: is a growing problem. That's only come on the forefront 97 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 1: in the last several years. They have to change the 98 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: tactics and understand that that the fentyl is really killing people. 99 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: All right, cash you something because a friend of mine, 100 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: her son at college, wanted he was he was upset 101 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: and jenery over something and wanted a xanax and got 102 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: his zanex from someone I don't know who. The xanix 103 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: was bleasd with fentanyl and he nearly died, had to 104 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: be rushed to the hospital. A story like that is 105 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: that common among the people you have found who died 106 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: of fentanyl, that they were trying to get some other 107 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: kind of pill, maybe more innocent and one yes, so 108 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: that that the short answer is that is exactly what 109 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: is happening, and for that person, there was no Zanix 110 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: in that pill. So what we're finding is all of 111 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: these these pills, whether it's a zanex, an oxycodone, a percocet, 112 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: a valium, all of those types of drugs are manufactured 113 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: to look like that drug, same marking, same colors, everything, 114 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: but really they're just they're nothing but sentinel and binder. 115 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: So it's the person may be ordering an oxycodone off 116 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: of snapchat, or a vic it in, whatever the case 117 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: may be. And really it's a completely illicit sentinel pill 118 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: that has nothing to do other than it looks like it. 119 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: And so these people they may you know, maybe that 120 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: that that child has taken that pill many times in 121 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: the past with no side effects. No, you know, he 122 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: may feel a little bit. It's just a prescription pill. 123 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: But when you have and you think you can just 124 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: do it again, and that one time with that one 125 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: sentinel pill, one pill kills. That's the that's the storyline 126 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: of the campaign against this. And they it's and it's fast, 127 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: it's not a prolonged death where you know, it's you 128 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: feel yourself going out. This is within second. The business 129 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: of drug pushers is to get people addicted or to 130 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: maintain their addiction. But now there's selling pills that kill 131 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: their customers. Where's the motivation here for handing out deadly poison. 132 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: It's the whole thing about new customers and greed of money. 133 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: Fentinel is extremely cheap, like like a hundred the cost 134 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: of the regular drug in some cases, and it's extremely 135 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: cheap to make, and it is so addicting that we 136 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: are finding it now in every drug so for instance, methamphetamine. 137 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: Methamphetamine is still being abused, but the chances of you 138 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: dying from an overdose of methamphetamine are extremely low. The 139 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: problem now is in order to addict those people more, 140 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: to get it physically addicting with that narcotic, they're adding 141 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: sentinel to it, and so you don't even know. You 142 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: think you're just taking your normal methamphetamine, but it's it's 143 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: that sentinel in it to make it addicting. So now 144 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: you have to go back more repeatedly, and you're going 145 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: back to that same dealer because they have a better 146 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: drug than the other guy down the street. So they're 147 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: making more clients and there it's cheaper because of the 148 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 1: cost of the fentanyl, and it's all about more clients. 149 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 1: It's that more addiction because some people may may casually 150 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 1: take mep amphetamine, may casually be a cocaine user or 151 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: a heroin user, or even a fentanyl user, but it 152 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: is so addicting that you're no longer casual anymore more 153 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: and more often, and the manufacturing process is just so 154 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 1: sloppy that many of these pills are going to be 155 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 1: loaded with too much fat. Now, yes, I mean I 156 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: don't want to seem simplistic, but imagine a bathtub of 157 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: binder and then you dump a bag of fentanyl in 158 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: it and stir it up with a stick and then 159 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: make pills out of it. So the chances of you 160 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: getting you described earlier. The small amount needed to kill 161 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: a person. Imagine, it's not scientific mixing. It's just some 162 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: of it's with a blender or even with a spoon 163 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,319 Speaker 1: a stick, and so you never know how much is 164 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: in that pill. The federal government has estimated that forty 165 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: percent of the fentanyl pills that are out there contain 166 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: a lethal dose. That's astronomical. Wow, that's really dangerous. This 167 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: is all coming in from Mexico. It is completely coming 168 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: in from Mexico. All the fentanyl is being made in China. 169 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: It's being smuggled into Mexico or taken into Mexico. It's 170 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: it used to be it was being fashioned into pills 171 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: in Mexico, but now with the open border, it's just 172 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: being brought over in bulk, in powder, and so we're 173 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: seeing the pills and the powder form and it's just 174 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: being smuggled across the border and into our streets. Sheriff Bianco, 175 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: thanks for talking to us. We're really appreciating and good 176 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 1: work with what you and the DA are doing out 177 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: there in Riverside County on fentnyl. Thanks guys, thanks for 178 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: trying to bring this out all right. That sheriff, Chad Bianco, 179 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: they were featured in a Press Enterprise story about teaming 180 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: up the sheriff and the district attorney to prosecute suspects 181 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: respected drug dealers for murder in fentyl related deaths. More 182 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: coming up KFI AM six forty Live everywhere in the 183 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. That was like a lesson in the crisis 184 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: we're having with our open borders. A lot of attention, 185 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 1: not enough, we think, is focused on the migrants coming 186 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: into the US over two million since Biden became president. 187 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: But let's not forget the drugs like fentnyl, which are 188 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: followed finding also easy access into the United States from 189 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: Mexico after they're produced in China and smuggled over here. 190 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: And we just talked to the Riverside County Sheriff about 191 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: the efforts there between his office, that's Chad Bianco, and 192 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: the DA Mike Hestern to try to prosecute these drug 193 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: dealers who give people fentinyl lace products that sometimes result 194 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: in death. These are murder investigations. They're overwhelmed right now. 195 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: They only have four investigators and one sergeant looking at 196 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: four hundred and eighty two fentnyl related deaths. And that's 197 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: why I was going to ask him. I think you 198 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: did ask him in the same fashion. Is it often 199 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: the case where someone just thinks they're getting oxycodon or 200 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 1: percocet or something like that. It's what happened. It ends 201 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: up being laced with fentnel and there's enough to kill him. 202 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: That's what happened to our friend's kid. And I know 203 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,839 Speaker 1: this kid and he survived though, thank you, he survived, 204 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: But it was he got He was in bad shape. 205 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: He had to be hospitalized. Don't be buying your drugs 206 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 1: on social media. That's also what happened to this poor girl. 207 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: We talked to her father, twenty year old Alexandra Cappa Ludo. 208 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: She was at Arizona State came home for the holidays. 209 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: I wanted to take something to help relax or she 210 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: got some oxy codon over social media it was snapchat, yeah, 211 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: and instead she got Oh, she actually got a pure 212 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: fentnel pill called an m thirty and she did die. Yeah. Well, 213 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: if all you need are two grains to die, and 214 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: two grains I'm sorry, two milligrams is the equal to 215 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: fifteen grains assault. Now that's that's a little speck that 216 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: you might sprinkle on your French fries, right, fifteen grains. 217 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: Count that out and you can see how little will 218 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: kill you. Now, the way Sheriff Bianco described it was 219 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: fascinating explaining to how this works. What you have is 220 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: a big tub filled with the powdered fentanyl, and well, 221 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: actually have a big tub filled with the powdered meth, 222 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: let's say, or the xanax or whatever drug you're looking for. 223 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: I mean, kids take adderall, they take molly, they take LSD, 224 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: they take ecstasy. Right, these are all the college drugs, 225 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: high school drugs get their kids take to change their 226 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: moods or sometimes to focus to do homework. With the adderall. Well, 227 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: they have these, uh, they have these machines to press 228 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: the powder into capsules or tablets, and they make the 229 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 1: tablets colored so they even more appealing. And what they 230 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: do is you have the tub of powder representing the drug, 231 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: let's say it's meth, and then you throw in some fentanel. 232 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: It's not measured out scientifically, it's just dumped in and 233 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: then they mix everything up. So some pills may have 234 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: little or no fentanel. Other pills might have a lot 235 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: of fentanyl. Yeah, it's it's kind of a random yeah, 236 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: because this is done in people's kitchens, in trailers. These 237 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: are are immigrants who work for the drug cartel in 238 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: Mexico who are mixing it here in America and then 239 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: selling the pills. I mean, I mean the in Hollywood, right, yeah, Hollywood, 240 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: right the park next story to the to the school, 241 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: or something year old boy has been charged with manslaughter 242 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: for the overdose of a fifteen year old girl named 243 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: Melanie Ramos in a Hollywood high school restroom. That's the 244 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: story that just happened a few weeks ago. So it's 245 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: it's not the normal pot smoking that used to go on. 246 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: And and kids are a lot of them are stressed out. 247 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: I mean college kids are stressed out of all sorts 248 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: of things. And you know they are taking xanax a lot. 249 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: They do take adderall a lot to try to go 250 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: into overdrive to study and get their work done. It's 251 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: it's very common I've been aware of this, you know, 252 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: for a number of years. Now that you're going to 253 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: a library at a high school or a college, it's 254 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: it's like a drug emporium. You know, it's able to 255 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: go to and get what kind of pill, but nobody 256 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: knows what the origination of these pills are. Now in 257 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: that Hollywood death, it's interesting to note that that's George 258 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: Gascon's office, but it's only a manslaughter case. The office 259 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: had previously taken the business position that increased penalties for 260 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: drug offenses do not save lives. You see, this is 261 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: this is just like just like the Public Safety Committee 262 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: people in Sacramento. It's the same philosophy. And one of 263 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: their spokeshols On, they put out a statement, we don't 264 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: know if this is the first involuntary manslaughter case involving 265 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: FENTONYL or not, but it's not the first word charge 266 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: arises from a death caused by an overdose. The filing 267 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: does not reflect any new policy. The case was evaluated 268 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: like any other against the elements of involuntary manslaan. See 269 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: the way their heads in there to say we're not 270 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: going to be we're not going to be harsh against 271 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: fentanyl deaths. So we're just we just found that this 272 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: fits the description of man's laws. So they're happy. They 273 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: they're content with tens of thousands of fentanyl deaths. Desolutely. 274 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: You have law enforcement officer as an investigator saying, we're 275 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: cool with this. We don't care. That's what it is. 276 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: You know, they can use all the fancy jargon and verbiage, 277 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: but what they're saying is, don't bother us. We don't care, 278 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: we don't don't We don't want to put anybody in 279 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: prison for anything. Go back to that statistic from Families 280 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: Against Fentanyl, seventy nine thousand people died from fentanyl between 281 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: the ages of eighteen and forty five from twenty twenty 282 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: to twenty twenty one. Seventy nine thousand, And you you 283 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: have George Gascon's office saying, we don't care, go die. 284 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: What do you want us to do. We'll review the 285 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 1: case and if it fits what we already do in 286 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: case of manslaughter prosecutions, then we'll prosecute. But nothing special here, 287 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 1: no adjustment. Chat Bianco on riverside says, well, we're going 288 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: to do everything we can at least to put these 289 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: guys in prison. Yeah, so they're not selling this to 290 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: the next poor person, right, and it's not going to 291 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: stop the overall flow very much, but at least these 292 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: people will be taken out of the system. Well that's 293 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: the difference. I mean, you you want to live in 294 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: chat Bianco's world, you want to live in George Gascon's world. 295 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,959 Speaker 1: And it's it's your kids, it's it's it's good kids. 296 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: Story ends with a real nice piece of justice. They 297 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: were going with a case against Justin Lee Call, thirty 298 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: one year old was arrested in February and connection with 299 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: the August twenty twenty one fatal fentonel overdose of a 300 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: guy by the name of Ernie Gutierrez. He was held 301 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: on a million dollars bail, but he died in custody. 302 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 1: Caused a death a fentanyl overdose. Dan's poetic justice for you. 303 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: They won't be prosecuting him for murderer. He's dead. There's 304 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: somebody published a graph. Well, it's families against Fentinel. They 305 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: published a graph and up until about twenty thirteen, the 306 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: number of deaths from fentnel every year was less than 307 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: five thousand. In fact, two thousand it was zero. This 308 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: almost didn't exist in twenty years ago, and then as 309 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: little as ten years ago it was less than five thousand. 310 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 1: Then the graph line literally by the end of the 311 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: graph goes straight up in the air. That's how fast 312 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: fentanyl deaths are rising. And it's all coming in over 313 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's Mexican border. All right, we're coming up Johnny 314 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: Ken Show, KF I am six forty five. Everywhere in 315 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app's disappeared quick was like five notes his 316 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 1: name that tune. I don't have money for the band anymore. 317 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: With the podcast. How come I listen to Gary and Shannon. 318 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 1: I hear music play for like a half a minute 319 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: or longer on their show. That'll get it. Very good question. Yep, 320 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: I hear all the time they sit there because I've 321 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: tuned in, and I don't hear them speak. It's like, 322 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: oh they become DJs. They're just playing songs now. So yeah, 323 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: you go, is that on the air live or is 324 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 1: it on the podcast? It's over the air live. Oh, 325 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: that's why we can't have it on the podcast. It 326 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: makes it hard to edit for the podcast. It's all 327 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: all behind the scenes stuff. Oh so their guy likes 328 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: to edit more than you. Apparently. Yeah, I guess, so 329 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: that explained the difference. No, I don't. I don't listen 330 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: to the podcast, so that was live. It's also a 331 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: good way to waste a couple of minutes every hour 332 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: by just extending the music. That's two minutes less of 333 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: work you have to do. Yeah, I was like, Oh, 334 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: let's just let's this song.

A metal pole, she says. 345 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: The wife said, the guy tried to drive a huge 346 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 1: metal pole through his back. Oh sick every day, every 347 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: day and nothing's done right.

The reason this person died coming 351 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: up in the four o'clock hour. The voter guide is 352 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 1: up at KFI A M sixty dot com, the John 353 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: and Ken page. Probably next week you will get your 354 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 1: mail in ballot. If that's how you're going to vote, 355 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: you'll be anxious to do that maybe, or as John said, 356 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: you should wait and if you're going to mail it in, 357 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: don't mail it into the day before the election or 358 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: the day of, just to see if anything changes. But 359 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: some people John, they're not going to pay attention to 360 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: that there, Well, people should pay attention to me and 361 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: what I'm saying here, wait until election day to vote, 362 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: wait and see what happens. Listen, listen. And fewer people 363 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: are doing that. Well, it's it's yes, and we're because 364 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: now they have that early in person voting and a 365 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: lot of people do that too now and we're getting 366 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: worse and worse results, aren't we These changes aren't good. 367 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: I mean, the ballot harvesting day is going to be 368 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: next week, isn't it? The beginning of the ballot harvesting? Oh, 369 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: the beginning yes, Oh, that's that's they're going to at 370 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 1: grabbing the ballots right there near the end. But that's 371 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: that's what it's really horrible about the laws in California 372 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: is the ballot harvesting. It's it's legalized corruption, and it's 373 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 1: gonna it's gonna promote even more progressive left wing lunatics. 374 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: One thing where adding to the voter guy because it 375 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: was another oversight, is for La County voters only measure A. 376 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: Measure A will give the Board of Supervisors the power 377 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: to remove the sheriff from office. This is you got 378 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: it right. You have to come to the committee meeting 379 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,679 Speaker 1: from that point. I by the way, I not that 380 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: I trust any of the La Times polling, but you 381 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: saw today that the two gambling propositions are they dead? Yeah, yeah, 382 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: both the tribal one. And I was just gonna be 383 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: no sports betting, either in the casinos or with your phone. 384 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: I was really I was really surprised. I say, booto, 385 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: what I don't understand what's like twenty seven percent? Do 386 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: they even understand that it's it's about online gambling, which 387 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 1: is going on all over the place everywhere else. There's 388 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: a lot of states that already allow it, right, I 389 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: don't get it. California which allows which allows murder. Why 390 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,239 Speaker 1: would you be against online gam I think people are 391 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: just sick of it because they spent so much money 392 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 1: on the commercials too early. That's a dumb reason to 393 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: be sick, So stop watching television commercials. I agree, But 394 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: that's just what I think it is. Oh, you might 395 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: be right. They mentioned that in the story too in 396 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: the Times, that that people have had a bad reaction 397 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: to the ads. You're gonna buy TV ads. TV ads 398 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: are filled with wise but the way people vote in 399 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: this state, don't you think it's also the nanny thing 400 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 1: we know on people to get gambling addictions. Yeah, but 401 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: they're making it easier to gamble with your phone. Yes, 402 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: I accept that if they hadn't legalized everything else. Yeah, 403 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: they draw the line of gambling. Use all the drugs 404 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: you want, camp out anywhere you want. I mean, but 405 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: we're not going to let you spend your money on 406 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: voting or rather gambling on its tree. You go to 407 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: San Francisco and they have these open air drug bazaars 408 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 1: that that service thousands, thousands of rowin addicts are getting 409 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 1: shots and they're getting a narcan if they overdose, I 410 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: mean they get free needles, that's okay. But somebody gambling 411 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: on a football game on a Sunday, Oh, we can't 412 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: have that. Yeah, we're a yes on Prop twenty seven. 413 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: That's the one that lovely all those stayed gambling companies 414 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: to dominate in California and take your money. It's you 415 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: want to be a sucker and bet on something. Why 416 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: why didn't you have the freedom to do that? Sure? Yeah, 417 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: so Conway does every day ray Ry. Imagine how out 418 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: of control they could be if they if they get 419 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: to you know, online gambling. I know every device probably 420 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 1: if that goes down, ray will have dodged. And they 421 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 1: always showed children huddled around like the tablet of the phone, 422 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: like the kids are gonna now gamble away all there? 423 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: Do parents money?

I don't know. They have this in 427 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: a number of other states, and I have not seen 428 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: any negative stories, but I'm not aware of any problems 429 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: or I don't know. Yeah, we were the first with 430 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: the whole medical marijuana thing and then the marijuana possession 431 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: thing or well Colorado was, but but we followed right along. 432 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: But not gambling.

It's 435 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 1: up to thirty states legalized, including DC. Thirty states legalized. 436 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: But wow, that's weird. Yeah, I thought we were always 437 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: in the forefront of Yeah, well that's another pole I 438 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: don't believe. But we'll see. Sounds like Eric's anxious to 439 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 1: spend his money on online gambling. Oh, he has raised 440 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: his idol. I was out right. He wants to be 441 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: rained twenty years. Yeah, they compare gambling props. We definitely 442 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: talked about batting lines here in the studio. Oh yeah, 443 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: all right, we got more coming up again. After four o'clock, 444 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: we're going to talk to a woman whose husband. They 445 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: live in Studio City. It was badly injured. He confronted 446 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: homeless men who were living behind his home and one 447 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: of them attacked him viciously.

Attempted murder Johnny Ken Show, 451 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: caf I Am six forty five everywhere in the iHeartRadio 452 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 1: app a right coming up after four o'clock, we're going 453 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 1: to talk to a woman whose husband was beaten by 454 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: a homeless man after the husband went out and told 455 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: the homeless man the encampment was right there near the house. 456 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: You can't stay here. That's the state of life today 457 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: in La. This happened in Studio City. She will be 458 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: our guests right after the news at four o'clock. In 459 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: the five o'clock hour, we're going to talk once again 460 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: to an attorney who's representing the family of an LAPD 461 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: officer who died during a training exercise. This has become 462 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 1: a really weird story. You may have heard about this. 463 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: They say it was a tragic accident, that's LAPD. It 464 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: happened at the academy, but that's not what the family believes. 465 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: And they believed that he was dropped on his head 466 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: and he died of head injuries. And now the latest 467 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: twist is they may have come up with a motive 468 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: as to why that that was done to him. That's 469 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: their allegations. So we'll talk to the attorney once again. 470 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: And this is Euston tipping the name of the LAPD 471 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,120 Speaker 1: officer who died in the training exercise, and we'll talk 472 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: to his attorney in the five o'clock hour. Earlier this hour, 473 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: we were talking about the dangers of fentnyl, the rising 474 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,719 Speaker 1: number of overdose cases and deaths that go with that, 475 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: because it is a cheap ingredient for the drug makers 476 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: and drug dealers to put in products that people think 477 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: they're getting oxy cod own or percocet, and instead it's 478 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 1: laced with some degree of fentyl, and sometimes it kills people. 479 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 1: In Sacramento, they don't seem to care. There've been several 480 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: bills to try to prosecute these fentinyl dealers. I think 481 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: the comparison was like drunk drivers. Maybe the first time 482 00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 1: you do this, we can write it off as quote 483 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: an accident, But the second time, third time this happens, 484 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: we're coming after you from murder. And they rejected. The 485 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 1: public safety community and Sacramento rejected those bills. We have 486 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 1: another story dealing with another problem for young people, and 487 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: that's energy drinks. I had no idea. Apparently some companies 488 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: now that are a marketing video game supplements to American 489 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: children so that they can stay awake and alert and 490 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: continue to play the video games that they love without 491 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: getting tired and weakened. Yeah, something called g fuel. You 492 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: can apparently buy it in powder form and just add 493 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: water and just one scoop contains more than double the 494 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: amount of caffeine in the twelve ounds can of Red Bull. 495 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: And I have never touched Red Bull for just that reason. 496 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: I've heard that they're all these products are the same 497 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: same idea. It's just how much caffeine did you put 498 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: in each product? Like Gee Fuels three hundred milligrams per can, 499 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: red Bull seventy seven milligrams, So that's more than three 500 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: times to punch. Yeah, and some of the kids are 501 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: ending up with insomnia head eggs at school. Obviously, if 502 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: they're staying up all night to play video games because 503 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: they're fueled by these drinks, they're not going to be 504 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: worth much the next day. Well, I know somebody's kid 505 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: who does that. He's up all night once the second 506 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: time this hour. You know somebody's kid involved in Because 507 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: this is what's going on in the world. First, the 508 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: fentnyl story and now the energy drink good because all 509 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: this stuff is real. It's not just cherry picking scary headlines. Yeah, 510 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: this is really what's going on. And to give you 511 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: a like context, here a can of coke, like a 512 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: twelve scan it's thirty four milligrams fuel three hundred milligrams. 513 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: It's it's almost ten times mechanic coke. How does your 514 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: heart not burst? Well, there had been cases where people 515 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: have had, like I have a friend that can't touch 516 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: caffeine drinks anymore because they had our heart going too fast. 517 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: Yeah you can, you can? You can I think, go 518 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: into a rhythmia from excessive excessive heartbeat. Sales of g 519 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: fuel have more than doubled since twenty nineteen, and a 520 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: third of the customers are under the age of twenty four. 521 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: There have been a few kids, I think in Asia 522 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: who have died playing video games because they went I 523 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: don't know, four or five days without sleep or eating, 524 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: and they died right on the keyboard in front of 525 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: the screen. They weren't taking any these supplements. I don't know, 526 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: maybe they were, but I mean that that's how that's 527 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: how addictive it is for the chemicals. In your brain 528 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: to play these games. Yeah, this expert. No, it's a 529 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: through from you see San Diego. He compared products like 530 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: g fuel to vaping, highlighting that they're both colorfully marketed 531 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: and coming a seemingly never ending amount of fruity and 532 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: sweet flavors, and both contain highly caffeine is addictive. We 533 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: found that out with John years ago, and he tried 534 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: to give up Coca cola. That's bad, and that doesn't 535 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: contain anywhere near the amount caffeine is these drinks. Now, 536 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: you were on the floor of the studio writhing in pain. 537 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: Oh you should have seen me at home, riding on 538 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: my kitchen floor. And you only gave it up for 539 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: what a week? Yeah? Yeah, I forgot which day that 540 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: the withdrawal kicked in. Might have been after two days 541 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: or so. Yeah, But this is different than when you 542 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 1: gave up food to get Gilgar City to prosecute to 543 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: the Menendez brothers. Right, that was food. No, I think 544 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: it was the same thing. I think wanted a hunger 545 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: strike and then some guy came and gave you some 546 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 1: sort of supplement that the green drink. Remember, the cook 547 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: went over to Cassal's, the burger yeah, I didn't know. 548 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: I didn't know caffeine was also well because I did 549 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: a complete fast except for the green drink, and I 550 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 1: didn't realize, well, I was drinking six cokes a day 551 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: and I inadvertently went into caffeine withdraw and I didn't 552 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: know what was going on, but that's what it was. 553 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so that's when I was on the floor. 554 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: He dry eaves, just terrible. Studies have found a sharp 555 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: decrease in sleep time among teens and adolescents in recent years. 556 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: And I know you probably know locally they've pushed back 557 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: the starting time for like high school in some school 558 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 1: districts because of the same thing. They think kids stay 559 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 1: up later and to try to get up and be 560 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: at school of seven thirties just too early. It's like 561 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: they pushed it to like eight thirty. Caffeine keeps a 562 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: person awake throughout the day by binding with receptors in 563 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: the brain and blocking the production of a chemical produced 564 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: after a person expends energy. This prevents the brain from 565 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: flagging and a sharp and alert, which can be favorable 566 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: for people playing video games that require a quick reaction speed. 567 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: But if you keep doing this, yeah, it's going to 568 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: catch up to you now. Here's Here's the thing happened 569 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: three years ago in Thailand. Seventeen year old kid was 570 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: found dead by his dad in front of his computer. 571 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: Died from a stroke. He spent several days playing multiple 572 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: games uninterrupted, and the desk was littered with food containers 573 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: and dad went in there and he was gone. Wow. 574 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: Died from a gaming addiction. All right. Coming up next, 575 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: our guests will be a Studio City woman named Cecilia. 576 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: Her husband's in pretty bad shape, recovering from serious injuries. 577 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: He was attacked during a confrontation with two homeless men 578 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: who had apparently set up an encampment just beneath their 579 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: home in the hills of Dudio City. She'll tell us 580 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: the whole story next because she wants to speak out 581 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 1: about this.
